The second volume of Sir Philip Pullman’s The Book of Dust sees Lyra, now 20 years old, and her daemon Pantalaimon, forced to navigate their relationship in a way they could never have imagined, and drawn into the complex and dangerous factions of a world that they had no idea existed. Pulled along on his own journey too is Malcolm: once a boy with a boat and a mission to save a baby from the flood, now a man with a strong sense of duty and a desire to do what is right.

She has promised her dragon that she will assassinate a target for him. But he won't name the person or thing he wants her to kill. And he keeps taking her further and further into the deadly land of Drachia, where dragons rule. And, as if that's not enough, every single one of those dragons wants to kill Brax.

Bound by a name, driven by a desire to become more, Cecily and Frost have survived their first battle and come out stronger for it. However, the bond they share comes with more than a way to communicate and a life long friendship; it comes with a death sentence should anyone discover the taboo magic they've undertaken. No one knows yet, but a single moment's mistake can lead to dire consequences for both dragon and mage.
